Atemarskiy Diatomite as Raw Material to Obtain Microsilica

The analysis of diatomite rocks of the Atemar Deposit of the Republic of Mordovia is carried out. The procedure of analysis of silicate rock, used for obtaining microsilica from natural diatomite, is described. A comparative analysis of the synthesized microsilica and the standard white soot powder is presented. A thermo-grav analysis of the synthesized microsilica obtained from Atemarskiy diatomite is carried out. The parameters of the thermal conductivity of the obtained microsilica are provided.
